Vision: Dude! and I have long discussed the need for a jump that you can progress on. One that you can hit 10' or 30'. The takeoff is so very important and we felt that the jumps that we hit are all too steep and short. "Basic Training" at Black Rock, Oregon was to be our model.
Reality: The vision was formed and another buddy and I got a wild hair and went out and did it. Dude!, fortunately for him or unfortunately for him, caught pneumonia while we built it. We actually did it in 5 nights, averaging 4 hours per night. The jump is about tall at the lip of the takeoff. It then slopes downhill about 4' to the lip of the lander which is 4' - 6"' tall. There is a platform that is 6' wide all the way from takeoff to lander. The takeoff is 12' from start to tip and is a gradual grade. The lander is 22' feet long and is a work of art. The jump from lip to lip is 28'+.
I have yet to hit it and am very excited about doing so....maybe tomorrow? Hopefully, reality meets vision and it is one for everybody to hit!?

Product DescriptionWith its slim design, the innovative Carbon Express Covert SLS Crossbow is extremely maneuverable in tight spaces like a ground blind or treestand. It may be compact, but it produces speeds up to 355 fps and 119 ft.-lbs. of kinetic energy. The green anodized flight rail and carbon-infused limbs combine to give it excellent power, strength and accuracy. The mini-parallel CNC-machined riser allows the limbs to be drawn back to very slim-line 13-1/2" axle-to-axle length. An all-metal trigger and safety provide smooth, consistent performance. The anti-dry-fire mechanism reduces chances of mishaps in the field. The safety system works great for both left- and right-hand shooters. The compact bull-pup stock positions the trigger mechanism 4" forward compared to conventional crossbows. 1" and 2" pad inserts allow you to customize the stock to your preferences. Precision aluminum alloy cams, tunable bow strings and power cables deliver smooth accurate shots, time after time. The 9" multiposition adjustable Picatinny rail system perfect for mounting accessories. Forearm is fully adjustable for personal comfort. Also includes a tactical foregrip with five positions for a custom fit. The entire stock is finished with a SilenTech coating that reduces vibration and dampens sound. The 4 x 32 Pro Deluxe Lighted Scope has red/green dual illumination for varying light conditions.
Covert SLS Package includes: crossbow, quick-detach three-arrow quiver, three Carbon Express Maxima Hunter 20" bolts, rope cocker, deluxe lighted scope, rail lubricant, and practice points.

Opinion: Obama's Job Plan Won't Deliver Jobs
Without Obama in front of the camera, monopolizing the way his jobs bill is being spun, the devils in the details have been popping up like weeds.
As Obama has crisscrossed the country this week, one of the bigger details that has emerged is that the White House wants to pay for part of the package by limiting income tax deductions on individuals earning over $200,000 a year, and families bringing in over $250,000 a year. I wonder why he left that little, four hundred billion dollars over ten years, detail out of his speech?
The president is clearly playing a very political game in his insistence that Congress pass the bill now, with a short amount of time for debate and analysis. House Majority Leader John Boehner is absolutely right in saying that the bill should be scored by the Congressional Budget Office before Congress gets to work on it.
Having the CBO projections in hand should be a prerequisite for any major piece of legislation, and Boehner is absolutely right in saying that the "record of the economic proposals enacted during the last Congress necessitates careful examination of the president's latest plan."
While I like much of the broad strokes of the package as outlined in Obama's speech, in that it includes long term budget trimming in exchange for some short term - fairly targeted - stimulus, some of the ideas he came up with aren't really particularly stimulative.
For example, giving an extra benefit to employers who hire workers who have been out of work for six months or more is astonishingly discriminatory, and practically cries out for abuse.
What's to stop an employer in a low skill field from laying off a few workers, and picking up a bunch of workers who've been unemployed for 6 or more months, just to pad their bottom line?
Ideas like that, and cutting the employer's side of payroll taxes, go after the entirely wrong problem. The problem is demand - businesses can meet their demand with the workforce they have.
They're not going to hire millions of people just because they have some money sitting in their bank accounts. If this was the case, with record amounts of capital sitting on balance sheets, they would have already started doing so.
Businesses don't need more capital, in fact capital is very cheap right now. The problem is not that labor isn't cheap. The problem is that businesses don't need any more workers to keep up.
During the president's speech, he said there shouldn't be games, politics or delays. But what he is doing by trying to ram this through is precisely a political game.
His speech left out major, controversial, points in the legislation, and if he tries to ram this through, especially if the CBO scores come back very different than the rosy picture the White House paints, this opportunity he has to rise above the fray could really backfire on him.

Roundup: The adaptations that filmed the 'unfilmable'
I'm not sure of Steve Pond's assertion that the adapted screenplay race is significantly "more crowded and competitive" than the original one this year, but I do like his point that judging adaptations can entail a different set of considerations than with originals (one reason I think the Academy gets it right, where many other awards don't, with separate categories). This year's crop, he suggests, "should be judged the same way diving competitions are: with one score for how artful the film is, the other for the degree of difficulty." With several films this year taking on source material once widely tagged with the "unfilmable" label, from "Cloud Atlas" to "On the Road" to "Lie of Pi," Pond talks to the screenwriters who gave the lie to that curious adjective. [The Wrap]
Meanwhile, Sasha Stone examines what she sees as the top contenders for the Best Original Screenplay Oscar. [Awards Daily]
To stick with the screenplay theme, Nathan Fillion has been tapped to host the Writers' Guild Awards in LA next month. [The Race]
A.O. Scott declares 10 films too few to represent the class of 2012, expanding his list to 25 -- topped by "Amour." [New York Times]
A look at the recording sessions of Howard Shore's "The Hobbit" score with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. [The Guardian]
The premiere of "Jack Reacher" and the post-premiere party for "Django Unchained" are among the events that have been postponed or cancelled in the wake of the Newtown tragedy. [Variety]
Historian Jim Downs considers the arguments for and against "Lincoln"'s depiction of abolition, accusing the film of ignoring economic motivations. [Huffington Post]
Nathaniel Rogers vents his frustration over the negative reviews for his beloved "Les Misérables," though he acknowledges it's not without flaws -- and then examines the weak spots in other Best Picture frontrunners this year. [The Film Experience]
Another hat-tip to Nathaniel for digging up a link to Jean-Pierre Jeunet's storyboards for his abandoned adaptation of "Life of Pi." Do you wish we'd seen his version, or are you glad Ang Lee took the reins? [Jean-Pierre Jeunet]
Presumably in honor of "This Is 40" and/or "Amour," a list of the best works -- not all of them cinematic -- about the panicky perils of ageing. [The A.V. Club]

We ventured to Spinalonga on Thursday which has a varied history most recently as a Leper colony from 1903 to 1957.

The graveyard of those who did not survive their expulsion is particularly striking. That said, there is also evidence of ...

Zen (Chan)
|The meditation (dhyana) school originating in China that emphasizes "mind-to-mind transmission"
0 comments
Reading BackI kept a journal when I went to Japan in January of 1960 to join my husband-to-be, a Beat poet and student of Rinzai Zen living in Kyoto. I continued keeping a journal during the four years I spent there—an account of housewifely copings with an unfamiliar culture, social doings of the foreign community, experiences of practicing meditation, voices of the lineage of writing I wanted to become familiar with, and the exhausting question "Who is this self?" plus a few jokes. Reading back some thirty years later is to acquaint myself again with this somewhat brash but unsure person and to recall the beauty and severity of the practice of Rinzai Zen at Daitoku-ji, one of the greatest historical centers of Japanese Buddhism, in Kyoto.

Visible & InvisibleMUCH INK HAS BEEN SPILLED in recent years over the question of what constitutes genuine "American Buddhism." ls it the Buddhism of recent European American converts, or the generations-old tradition into which many Americans of Asian ancestry were born? ls it a matter primarily of ideas or of practice? ls it meditative, devotional, or both? Must one be a member of a specific organization to be counted as a Buddhist, or should "freelancers" be included as well? In short, are there any criteria at all for defining ''American Buddhism," and precisely who should be included in the picture? More »

The Buddha's RobeI AM SEWING MY FIRST RAKUSU—the rectangular bib-like garment that is worn by Zen Buddhists. It is formally conferred during jukai, the ceremony of taking refuge in the Buddha and receiving the precepts. Unlike many people I know, I have never wanted a rakusu. I do have a narrow black doth band (a wagesa) that I received during my first jukai many years ago, but I keep it folded in a comer of my drawer—my sock drawer. Sometimes I feel a pang of remorse that for so long l have allowed it to lie among my socks, socks that slide along the floor and gather dust balls and the smell of sweat and leather. But the truth is that hidden among my socks there are also a few family jewels: an amber bracelet from Poland, a black onyx crucifix that belonged to Great-Aunt Maria, my mother's moonstone bracelet.

The reward program, along with a penalty for ramp-taxi medallion holders who did not pick up disabled passengers, boosted wheelchair service by 20% last year. For the full story, click here.
To enhance understanding of the Act, the new circular offers a user-friendly, one-stop resource on its requirements.
The course is instructed by Halsey King, a well renowned speaker and writer on maintenance and technology issues, that includes repair, inspection and management of vehicle fleets.
The about-face came just six days after an internal audit of the city's public transportation system was released to the council. In it is a recommendation to raise paratransit rates to $2.50 a ride from the $2 fee riders have paid since 1996.
Since the ADA's signing in 1990, AC Transit and BART have worked to ensure disabled residents are able to enjoy the many benefits of public transportation. The two agencies joined together in 1994 to form the East Bay Paratransit Consortium.
A paratransit fare increase may be proposed to fill the gap; however, Pace Executive Director T.J. Ross acknowledged it would be very difficult for those riders to absorb.

do you cook fish and leave the skin on or no?
Depends on the fish and the preparation...
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.
Skin leaves so much flavor! ;o

Having never cooked fish or having any interest in cooking fish, I can only guess. My guess is you leave the skin on if you are going to be serving it that way or if you are grilling or baking it, otherwise off.
Yes I do. There is a ridiculous amount of Flavor in that skin. Not to mention it usually helps keep the fish together and keeps it from drying out.
This is a terrible poll, so many types of fish, so many fish where they are fine with skin and so many fish that need the skin removed.
Not a huge fish guy anymore but If there is skin I leave it on. Skin always adds more flavor
So good to be an ant who crawls atop a spinning rockCurrently playing: Bioshock 2,Far Cry 3
Depends on type of fish and type of preparation.
Most of the time skin on, I could see there being exceptions though.
I never eat the skin, but when cooking I just keep it like it was when wrapped. Self-caught fish, depends on the size and how I plan to eat it.
Wait, some people eat the skin? Is it like potatoes with skin, in that it adds more oomph to the flavour or something? o.O
Leave it for the flavour of course!
WBMA - Leave our beards alone
I don't eat fish
Leave it on ofc, you can even eat it if you have done it right.

SMALL ACTS OF DISOBEDIENCE – CREATIVE TIME SUMMIT: The Curriculum at la Biennale di Venezia
Monday, August 10, 7pm, Serra dei Giardini, 1254, Castello, Venezia, VE 30122, Italy.
"Small Acts of Disobedience, (S.A.D) investigates the possibilities left when the margins for freedom seem to be thinning." Chantal Pontbriand

The 2015 Creative Time Summit: The Curriculum at la Biennale di Venezia took place within the 56th International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia, All the World's Futures, curated by Okwui Enwezor. On opening night, August 10, at the Serra Dei Giardini, Sherry Dobbin, presented our ongoing collaborative project, Small Acts of Disobedience. S.A.D is an ever-growing archive which collects small, discreet, performative actions, and non actions, realized by artists and citizens from different communities, as a response to the inequities, absurdities and abuse of historical bye-laws, demands, constitutions and commands of government as they impact their specific local communities and spaces. Each action, places the body in a different public space; it is a form of local or personal empowerment, cultural disruption and a form of civil disobedience. It is a pedagogy of action. Since 2009, the annual Creative Time Summit has operated as a convening, a discussion, and a platform for the intersection of art and politics. The Venice Art Biennale offered a unique opportunity to gather an international, interdisciplinary community to consider how knowledge is produced and how it comes into contact with civil society. Writer and Curator Chantal Pontbriand has written about SMALL ACTS OF DISOBEDIENCE in an essay entitled To Obey or to Disobey. You can read the essay at www.portlandgreen.com/SAD
More information about the project is available here
WITH(IN) is a two-part, short film compilation produced by Portland Green, comprising two, curated, short film programmes entitled 'In, Around and Cornered' and 'Within, Against and Upon'.

Erika Janunger, Weightless, 2012.
Photograph by Ka-Man Tse for the Times Square Alliance.
An estimated 994,300 people experienced the world's largest dance space when Times Square Moment: A Digital Gallery featured a multi-screen version of the work Weightless by Swedish artist Erika Janunger. A presentation of the Times Square Advertising Coalition (TSAC) and Times Square Arts, Times Square Moment hosted a presentation of the work every night from 11:57pm to midnight during August and September. The multi-screen work was produced by Portland Green.

Following its presentation at Manifesta 9 as part of the parallel events programme, artists Heath Bunting and Stijn Van Dorpe have loaned works to the SMALL ACTS OF DISOBEDIENCE (S.A.D) archive for future re-presentation.
In Van Dorpe's 'Short Cut Leuven' a line of walkers, inhabitants of the Belgian city of Leuven, move along an imaginary straight line across the city centre. The route is inevitably full of barriers and the performance makes tangible the real sensitivities that living in a city entails. In the work, Orchard of Avon, Bunting has adopted the self-nominated role of'Keeper of Apple Trees' in Avon, locating 'feral' apple trees growing in inaccessible, public spaces and caring for these trees. Bunting views the project as an enforcement of the rights of the "public" and of access to wilderness.
Documentation of the project as part of Manifesta 9′s parallel events programme in the city of Genk, in the region of Limburg, Belgium is available here here
Presented by PORTLAND GREEN™ and the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, ALFF (Artists' Long Format Film) is the working abbreviation for a new partnership looking to develop and produce one ambitious single screen work which uses performance as a driver. Targeted at films in any genre; creative documentary, drama, artists' film, cinematic essay or animation, the commission is inspired by the recent critical successes of artists' long format films which have clearly demonstrated the range of contemporary performance styles that can be used effectively in long format films and still attract a mainstream audience. This is not a production award, rather, it is a vehicle from which to finance, produce and distribute a long form film. Following two calls for applications managed by Film London through which no film was commissioned, the call is now closed.
From 2006 to March 2012, Portland Green Cultural Projects managed a programme of work in dance on behalf of Art Council England. This strategic programme commissioned, exhibited and distributed dance work that exists outside of the theatre and its associated theoretical canons and economic models. Documentation of artists' work on this site which has been supported through this Arts Council England funded programme is attributed accordingly.
We have concluded this strategic work and did not apply to be a part of Art Council England's National Portfolio. This means that we have changed the way we work with artists and film makers. More information about the frameworks within which we work can be found here: http://www.portlandgreen.com/consulting-curatorial-production-services/ We continue to work in performance and dance within contemporary arts practice and film alongside our other work in contemporary art and film.
We have de-accessioned screening copies of films sent to us as part of the strategic programme we managed to a national archive. If you submitted a viewing copy of a film to us as part of the above programme and wish it returned, please contact us
In 2013 we were awarded a Creative Skillset Management and Leadership Bursary.
In 2011 we were awarded one of the first bfi Transition Fund Awards. The Transition Fund for Audience Development, funded through Lottery Funding, was set up by the BFI in order to support audience development projects facing budget cuts in funding as a result of the changes in the national and regional film funding landscape which have taken place before a new film strategy and funding priorities come into effect from April 2012. Peter Buckingham, Former Head of Distribution and Exhibition, BFI, said, "We have moved as swiftly as possible to ensure that film organisations are able to survive in this period of transition, and that audiences can continue to benefit from the important work that they do. Collectively these organisations contribute hugely to the access and promotion of film in the UK. They are incredibly valuable which is why it has been important for the BFI to help them." The BFI logo denotes projects on this site which were supported by this award.
PORTLAND GREEN™ makes, curates, exhibits and distributes artists' film and contemporary arts projects that are central to our thinking about the world at the present time. While we acknowledge that society has moved beyond a time when it expects artists to work in one, classifiable medium, our work has to date focused on ideas explored through artists' film, creative documentary, cinematic essay, docu-drama, dance and performance film, performance, site-specific public art and other hybrid forms. These projects are timely and make a tangible contribution to contemporary culture, discourse, ideas and thinking. Our works are designed to reach large audiences and often emerge from collaborations with artists, thinkers, designers and institutions. The organization is particularly known for its work with dance, performance, technologies and film.
PORTLAND GREEN™ has delivered strategic programmes of work for public cultural institutions in the UK for over a decade, including a programme of work in dance for Arts Council England through Portland Green Cultural Projects.
In the last two years over 1.5 million people around the world saw projects/works/films that were commissioned, produced or exhibited by PORTLAND GREEN™ and the artists, collaborators and partners that it works with.

Crack Management
| August 01, 2009 |
A guide to understanding crack types, their causes and how to handle them.
Cracking is the bane of pavements, whether of asphaltic concrete or portland cement concrete. Asphalt pavement can crack from the top down and from the bottom up. It can alligator-crack, longitudinalcrack, thermal-crack, and fatigue-crack. Concrete pavements expansion-crack, D-crack, transverse-crack, fault and even blow up under thermal stress. And both asphalt and concrete overlays reflection-crack. While the hot-mix asphalt (HMA) establishment long has been focused on rutting — also called pavement deformation — cracking also forms such a threat to asphalt pavements that research on both rutting and cracking took the lion's share of funds for the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). The program was a five-year, $150 million research effort, mostly funded by the states, that was completed in 1993. Although, its principal product was the current Superpave system of design specifications, cracking was studied intensively.

IP Address Converter1.0
editor's review
1 comment
IP Address Converter is a small software application whose sole purpose is to help you convert IP addresses to hexadecimal, decimal, and binary data on the breeze.
Simplistic looks
It sports a clean and plain layout that integrates an intuitive behavior, so even less experienced users can easily discover and tweak its functions. All dedicated parameters are embedded in the main panel, so altering them proves to be nothing more than a child's play.
How it works
IP Address Converter gives you the possibility to type in the IP address that you want to convert or paste the information from the clipboard.
In order to trigger the conversion process, you are required to perform a single click on the "Convert" button, and the tool automatically displays the hexadecimal, decimal, and binary data. Tests revealed that the app carries out a task quickly and leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.
What it lacks
On the downside, IP Address Converter doesn't let you copy the hexadecimal, decimal, and binary information to the clipboard (so you cannot paste it into other third-party applications), clear the entire workspace with just one click, and export the converted values to a file (e.g. TXT, DOC, RTF) to your computer.
Bottom line
To sum things up, IP Address Converter proves to be a simplistic piece of software that comes bundled with limited features for helping you convert IP addresses to hexadecimal, decimal, and binary formats. The lack of configurable settings makes it ideal especially for rookies.

I am using SignalR. The function on the Hub often return a Task. I now have a function that will add a connection to a bunch of groups. I would like to return a Task that represents all of these Tasks.
I found a perfect function for that: Task.WhenAll. However this is a new function in .NET 4.5 and I am still stuck on .NET 4.
Hence I decided to write my own version of it until we can move to .NET 4.5. Because there are often some caveats when it comes to multithreading (e.g. thread pool stuff), I am not sure if my implementation is correct:
public static Task WhenAll(IEnumerable<Task> tasks)
return Task.Factory.StartNew(() => Task.WaitAll(tasks.ToArray()));
Functionally, it works I think, but don't I get an extra blocked thread for the new Task? Or is this unavoidable?
Edit: Here is how I would use it with SignalR:
public static Task Add(this IGroupManager groupManager, string connectionId,
IEnumerable<string> groups)
return WhenAll(groups.Select(group => groupManager.Add(connectionId, group)));
